Things are about to heat up on Beyond Bionic as Andy Torbet takes on the world's most heat-resistant animal. Very little is known about the mysterious Pompeii worm, which lives deep under the Pacific Ocean on hydrothermal vents. These vents pump out boiling water heated by underwater volcanoes, so Andy's challenge is to survive intense heat, just like the worm, in a specially built Beyond Bionic inferno. Will he be able to find the technological tools to withstand temperatures over 500 degrees Celsius? Show less
